Update/Change to how Bits are earned.

Alright so we decided to change how we handle bits. Initially we did have a plugin which would automatically grant you 10 bits per in-character post, but due to its large amount of bugs it does not work correctly. We have no clue when it works correctly and even when it is up and running we aren't sure if it will do exactly what we want. So we are instead just going to add/edit bits manually rather than dealing with some plugin/code.

Also as a side announcement, you can in fact earn experience by role playing in the human world (Akihabara District). All threads here will be dubbed 'social' only though since Digimon cannot enter the human world at this time.

Below is the updated information on bits which you can read:

Bits are simply the form of currency on the site. You can earn them through role playing. You will receive bits only for in-character post, you will not receive any bits for posts that are in out-of-character boards. Besides just earning them through naturally role playing and posting there will also be opportunities to earn a little extra through either quests or plot based missions. Bits can be used to purchase Digi-Modify cards or other items, such as Digi-Farm items. You cannot give away or trade bits to others for any reason, the only way to obtain them is by earning them. You will earn 10 bits for every post in a 'battle thread' while you will receive 15 bits for every post in a 'social thread' in order to compensate for gaining less experience points. Bits will be tallied up and added at the end of each thread like Experience Points.

You can cash out bits early in a thread if you need them before the thread finishes, such as needing them to buy something for other threads. You cannot use items that you buy in an on-going thread, you can only use them in threads initiated after that purchase. If you wish to cash in early then simply post in the Experience Notification Thread and let the staff know that you just specifically want to earn your bits for the posts done so far in that thread. A staff member will then post and grant the Bits to each individual in that thread for the posts they have done so far and then the thread can continue on normally after that. Then at the end of the thread bits will still be awarded to any posts that occurred after the staff member posted, along with the Experience Points gained for the entire thread.
